cargo-generate VS ArduinoCore-avr

cargo-generate: Quickly create Rust projects by using existing Git repositories as templates.

This seems to have a lot of overlap with cargo generate. I'm curious if there are differences you're exploring in philosophy/UX/features/implementation/whatever?

cargo-generate to generate projects according to a template (see cargo-generate)

That must be the connector/payment processor integration template. That's not serde specific, it's cargo-generate.

Tools like yeoman, degit, and cargo generate kept me happy for years. They add basic templating capabilities to the standard git clone but they stop there. You’ll be hard pressed to find tools that go beyond setting up a directory structure.

We would like to simply the next step and use cargo-generate tool to create our Arduino project from a template. Somehow (please, do not ask me why) it requires Perl to compile, so we have to do:

How does backpack compare to [cargo generate](https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate)? I've been using that one until now, but I haven't used its more advanced features.

Currently, it has two built-in ones for `cargo new` and `cargo init` (--bin and --lib) and there are third-party tools like `cargo generate` which provide for more, but they haven't accepted anything into the main distribution yet.

Gotta pick some project that matters to you and do it. Putting Python code into production with multi-person teams is outright maddening, but for the individual who wants to put their skills on wheels, Python is a great place to start.

Another fun thing to try is

https://www.arduino.cc/

I got started with that buying an Arduino and a breadboard and a handful of 74xx logic chips and I started writing Arduino programs that would generate inputs to the 74xx chips and verify the expected outputs and thus taught myself C coding for the Arduino and how to make circuits with discrete logic at the same time.

Check out existing implementations like Arduino: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/master/libraries/SPI/src/SPI.h

you can always just use an ide but i use this one on my old chrome book https://www.arduino.cc/

You'll also need the avr C library and the Arduino library, and possibly a Makefile or similar to corral the compilation process

Ya for $25 you either want 4-5 clones, or support the official Italian Arduino makers as thanks for making the entire ecosystem possible by buying one of their own boards from https://www.arduino.cc/

It depends what exactly is she into. For electronics you can check out arduino. They sell full kits with everything you need - some components like leds, breadboard so you can create circuits without soldering and a small 8bit computer to control everything with. AFAIK they also sell kits specifically for education starting with middle school.

They are in via Arduino. ;-)
